[ANN] Synthex - a signal synthesis library

[Michele Balistreri]

Hello all!

today, I released version 0.0.1 of synthex, a signal synthesis library. It provides oscillators generating the classic waveforms (sine, triangle, square/pulse, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth), noise generators (white, pink, brown) as well as some filters (moog-like, first-order low/high pass, lo-fi "bitcrusher").

Currently, output to WAV files (8/16/24/32 bit integers or 32-bit float) and direct audio output (through SoX player) are supported.

You can find it on hex and on Github at https://github.com/bitgamma/synthex. Have a look at the examples to see how to use it. As a bonus, if you run the binaural.exs script with your headphones on, you may feel relaxed!

In the next days/weeks I will be adding more filters and probably a sequencer. The architecture might change, even radically, so do not depend on it for any serious project yet.

Since the project is at a very early stage, and since I am not totally sure I am going in the correct direction regarding the architecture, I would really appreciate your feedback about possible improvements. Harsh critic, as long as it is constructive is also welcome.

Regards,

Michele Balistreri

Hey Michele

This is super cool, I'm a huge fan of both Elixir, and mucking about
with music/audio with code.

Given that Elixir isn't exactly the fastest when it comes to number
crunching, how do you see this project being used?

Cheers,
Louis

To be honest, it is an experiment also for me. Performance so far are sufficient for what I am doing, but I am playing with the idea to parallelize computations of separate "blocks" by using processes and see if it can make up for "raw" computing power.
